Lots of commitments lately! Sorry I’ve been gone for so long – posting will become more regular as we go here.
You should all definitely check out the Machine Collective – this is a group devoted to open, modular MIDI surface controllers, designed with Ableton Live and Max/MSP in mind. Check it out!
So is this the future, or a stopgap measure? Do we prefer the “Sims” style polygon abstractions over photorealistic video of performers, or does the cartoony style simply make the inevitable lag acceptable? You be the judge.
New song by yours truly. Uses lots of samples from around the place – different bell effects, and a vocal that will hopefully remind some of you of Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker. Enjoy!
Monome’s 40h … um … device. It looks to be a button grid of LED lights that also has some sort of tilt sensor. Be sure to watch the video for what was sure to be a whole lot of custom programming to make the thing work.
Link from create digital motion. Absolutely amazing reactive piece using the new GLSL in 10.5’s Quartz Composer.
